I was a little confused and thought to talk to Laxmikant ji. But I was very afraid of them, so kept quiet. ‘ Alka further said, ‘Laxmikant ji was eating paan. He told me, ‘Write the first line.’ As soon as I started writing lines of songs, I started to understand her tune and feeling. Then I started singing and gradually Ramati went into it.

Such superhit tune
